Huge fan of Daryl Hall and John Oates since 1981. This channel will be a collection of DH & JO videos from old VHS tapes I have, other goodies, videos that might have been on YT in the past that I’ve saved and been able to re-upload, and videos that I created. Follow me on Instagram and see all sorts of info, pics, and memorabilia (some rare) from my collection. Enjoy!
When I was a kid, and I heard Daryl say that part, about " you know its wrong to take what is given you", I actually felt guilty, my young, impressionable mind. But now, as an adult, I know better. Yes, feel free, take what is given unto you, because that is a gift, freely given.
Thank you so much for posting this ! This performance was my first exposure to this song and I liked it immediately. I bought the CD and this song has been a favorite of mine since.
I have this on vhs - I think after the commercial break, Letterman quipped that Daryl looked like Thomas Jefferson, which was kinda silly but funny lol
Man, this video is blurry, and I already have blurry vision. Even my daughter looked at this, and her vision is good, and she said it's blurry too. She tried to adjust the resolution, but it only goes to 360p. But hearing them sing this, I now vaguely remember this song from way back, many years ago, my childhood.
I remember Martha Quinn! I used to see her alot on MTV in the early '80's! And I really like how she is very polite and attentive to John Oates, as well as Daryl. It's good to see John having a turn to shine, and be allowed to be himself as a man. Daryl is the pretty boy, always getting the center of attention, and I must admit, I am weak to him myself, but it looks good for there to be BALANCE, like the interaction going on here between Martha and John. Who knows, maybe Martha was like many white chicks back then, who were more attracted to dark men, Hispanic or Italian, or Indian? My daughter is not into white men, unless they are foreign, or gay. And since John was finally allowed to be himself, I noticed the strong Aries side coming out in him! Haha. And lastly, I do notice and like it how the guys were still working together, or they appeared to be. Personally, I feel like even if Daryl had changed and evolved in a different direction than John, that they still should have parted as friends, no hard feelings. ***** Daryl has many beautiful highly meaningful songs since they've been apart, and that is what hooked me into this!! It's TOO EASY to want to believe the words in his songs, and he is definitely a charmer!
Absolutely one of the top ten writer/artists our loving Lord God has ever given us…more likely in the top five!!! Daryl’s own hard work is his constant…thank you sir!
I've watched this documentary at least 4 times just because it's so entertaining. I love seeing these more intimate looks into Hall, Oates, and the rest of the band members' lives on tour. The part where G.E. is singing in the street and then immediately cuts to Charlie playing his saxophone especially cracks me up. Thank you for uploading this. (:
